A reminder if you're awake to check us out on CBC Daybreak Montreal at about 7:40. That link has a "listen live" link on the right, or it's 88.5 FM in Montreal. We'll try not to swear, but they better be quick on the fucking beep button.

I'm having a fun time imaging all the usual daybreak listeners arriving to work and deciding to have a quick look at fourhabsfans.com while they sip their morning lattes. Think some of them might be in for a surprise?

1. Think there's a chance Brisebois sits the next 2 games, so he can play #1000 at home, where hopefully Panger will have his car backed into the shipping/receiving bay with the trunk open and waiting?

2. .500 hockey from here in gets us 93 points. Is that enough?

3. Is BGL done for the season (PLEASE BABY JEEBUS!)?

4. Will PoonTang have an effect on the offensive offense?

5. Do Gainey and Co. have the balls to admit their mistake and send Price to the minors for the rest of the year?

I may get bloody bashed, but I don't think Price is all that bad. Komi and Brisebois were brutal yesterday, and they were directly responsible for 3 goals.... (I'm sure Panger musta enjoyed that Brisebois one with Spacek)..... Alot of people are jumping to bash Bob and Price... cripes if Sundin didn't hit the post 3 times last week, we'd probably still be on the February losing streak.

1. i was wondering about this. i'd rather he waits and plays the one game at home than play on friday and then having him probably suit up at the next home game so he gets his standing o.

2. yes. and then we play the bruins.

3. we're all praying.

4. see number 3.

5. what LG said.

@iron: i was on your side until a couple of games before price got benched. "he's still young, he's not fully recovered yet, he'll turn it around, most of those goals aren't his fault" and that's fine. but we were a lot further from 10th then, and now his inability to make game-changing stops is fucking with our season, and i don't care if he's the fucking QUEEN OF ENGLAND, IF HE'S NOT WINNING GAMES, HE FUCKING SITS

Waiver details:After the trade deadline and until the playoffs, a player can be sent down with no problems. He can't be snagged. Only if he's called back, he does have to go through re-entry waivers. Should a situation like that arise, and a player is claimed by some other team, he will NOT report to this team because there can be no personnel change after the deadline. The player would then stay in the minors until the summer, then report to his new team.

What that means for Price is that he could be sent to Hamilton with no problem, provided we are certain he stays there until July 1st. There would be no way to re-call him between now and then. So no matter how he plays, it's a risky proposition because if Halak falters well... we're in deep deep doo-doo.Which I guess we are even if Price is around but that's besides the point...

@Bob Gainey: These Jim Carey comparisons piss me off because Jim Carey actually won a Vezina Trophy, whereas the only NHL related thing Scary Price has won is a starting job in the fucking All-Star Game.

At this point, I'd be happy to see Scary win the Vezina and flame out instead of doing nothing and uh... you know, continuing to suck.

It's been a few years since I've had to do this... but this is the time of year when I decide on a backup team to cheer for in the playoffs, should the Habs not make it/be eliminated in the first round.

So, FHF posters/spewers of apoplectic rage (sadly, I've yet to see apoPlektic rage...), who will you be cheering for if/when the Habs bow out?

I'll be going for... wait for it... Florida. Good young team on the rise, great goalies, play a fun style of hockey, will be underdogs (undercats?), and pretty much the ONLY recent expansion team to have any sort of team personality (I still remember the '96 run to the finals, the rat-trick, Pavel Bure...)

My backup cheer team is Washington. Just love watching Ovechkin/Semin/Backstrom play and Fedorov is one of my all-time favorite players. So the Caps for me, when the Habs are out of it. Which should be soon anyway.

Anybody know how the fuck Pebbles managed to hurt his back again? I know how because it's the same reason I hurt my back on occasion - my big fuckin' gut! Jeebus he's out of shape! Which is good, so...I don't really care if it's God smiting him, or too much skin or whatever, just stay in the ER!

@SSHF: Chicago. I actually own a Blackhawks sweater. Of course - it's from pre-expansion (90's edition) of the NHL (and my gut) so it doesn't fit, but, GO HAWKS!

I like Iginla, but hate the rest of them - Kipper is overrated, Bertuzzi is a douchebag, Phaneuf is overrated AND a douchebag, and their fans are jerks.

I hope Kiprusoff is out for a long stretch à la Brodeur, just to watch Keenan go "fuck fuck fuck who the hell do I put in nets?" Seriously. He's started all but SEVEN of their games. He plays more often than fucking Breezer!

I'm looking forward to cheering for Columbus as I used to live in Ohio, albeit before the team ever existed. I also will be glad to back the Blackhawks, who I think will be a popular second team. Not sure if I can bring myself to cheer for anyone in the East, not even Washington.

My only other team of interest is Dallas because of Turco. (And others but most of them are injured right now). I live and die by my teams. Screw the rest. I only like certain players from the others, not the teams. But I watch hockey in general with a very neutral stance when those others are on, unless it's the Wild trap playing someone to death. Then I just go to sleep or see if there are any CHL games on.

About Four Habs Fans

The Four(-ish) Habs Fans are four(-ish) Habs fans. Three are from Montreal, though one of those is now stuck in the middle of the Red Mile. The other somehow grew up a Habs fan in the middle of Ontario Cottage Country, and now lives in Hogtown. Some of them are lawyers, so they are opinionated, and may or may not be assholes.

HabsFan29 is a lifelong Montrealer who decided the Four Habs Fans' email exchanges about the Habs were just too stupidly amusing and occasionally intelligent not to share with the world. The 29 is for the greatest (only?) Goalie-lawyer-PM candidate ever. He would like his mom to know that his meth habit is overstated on this blog for comedic effect.

HabsFan4 paid tribute to one of the finest gentlemen to ever don a Canadiens sweater. His legacy as one of the pioneers of the Gangsta Rap movement has always been understated. His Jaro posts will be recalled fondly by all.

HabsFanForever33 aka Panger is a Montrealer in Exile currently residing mere blocks from the Red Mile, yet whose passion for all things Canadiens has only embiggened with distance. HFF33 worships at the altar of St. Patrick. Panger still gets chills recalling the moment he met the greatest goal-scorer of all time, The Rocket. HFF33 is a life-long Habs fan, except during the Houle-Tremblay Era, when Le Club de Hockey Canadiens was dead to Panger.

HabsFan10 grew up watching Le Demon Blond on Radio-Canada with his unilingual English Dad in a WASPy little town in Maple Leafs country, at least until the playoffs each year, when he got to hear Danny Gallivan and Dick Irvin because the Leafs played on opposite nights (if they made the playoffs at all). Rick Middleton and Cam Neely sometimes haunt his dreams. He thinks Thurso, Quebec should be declared a national historical site. If you aren't sure what the 10 in HF10 stands for, you're on the wrong site, buster.

moeman born in l'Estie'd'Québec, was baptized Maurice because well his Mom, seeing his beautiful dark locks and glaring eyes knew he'd need a namesake, actually it was his Mon Oncle Yvon that CHristened his Habstism, deep in central Ontario no less. He took life's circuitous route and blessed his own son with the name Patrick in 1993. He also has a gorgeous daughter but she's a Sens fan, so, meh. moeman loves women, wine, song, women, Habs, his kids, women, iOS Apps, hockey blogging women and women. His other passion, he hates the leaf. He also loves women.
